After two straight losses, including this past week’s tough loss at home against the winless Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin knew that changes had to be made in order to get his team back on track.

Among the potential changes was rumors that the Dolphins were considering benching Ryan Tannehill in favor of backup quarterback Matt Moore. At the coaches’ press conference yesterday, Philbin did not seem very keen on the idea of Tannehill starting next week against the Oakland Raiders in London.
Although Tannehill is certainly walking on thin ice at this point, the most recent depth chart released by the Dolphins still lists the third year quarterback as the starter for now.
Tannehill has been off and on so far this season, struggling to get in a groove and get the offense moving. While he has not played terrible by any means, his continued inaccuracy coupled with poor decisions have stunted the Dolphins growth as a team.
While Matt Moore is certainly not a sensational quarterback by any means, when he has gotten his chance in the NFL, he has proven time and again to be more than serviceable as a leader.
While the initial depth chart does not indicate 100 percent that Tannehill will start this week, it is most likely that he will get one more chance to prove his worth before the Dolphins pull him for good.
